Purpose

This webpage/report is intended to aggregate information from different agencies (i.e. USACE, SFWMD, FWC, USGS and NOAA) into one spot to help inform local government agencies and stakeholders on conditions within Lake Okeechobee, the Northern Estuaries and the Everglades ecosystem. The data provided here should be considered preliminary and are subject to change.

Daily and 14-day moving average discharge for S-79 relative to the Northern Estuaries RECOVER performance measure for the recent 30-day period.

Daily and 14-day moving average discharge for S-79 relative to the Northern Estuaries RECOVER performance measure for the recent 30-day period.

CRE Discharge Salinity Envelope - 6 months plot

Caloosahatchee Conditions Summary: Flow to the Caloosahatchee Estuary had a 7-day average of 2,120 cfs at S-79 with a 7-day average of 1,496 cfs coming from the lake at S-77. The 14-day moving average flow at S-79 is 2,110 cfs and has been in the stress flow envelope (2100 - 2600 cfs; RECOVER 2020) for 1 days.

S-77 (from Lake Okeechobee) and S-79 (to Tidal Basin) flow data along the C-43 and Caloosahatchee River. C-43 Basin Flow was calculated as the difference from S-77 and S-79.
